German man seriously injures police officer with vuvuzela

As German fans in Dinslaken, north of Duisburg, made their way home after Die Mannschaft‘s victory over Ghana on Wednesday, one pissed-up supporter began taunting a police officer directing traffic around the crowd. The police report reads:

“As he turned to the 20-year-old, the man suddenly began hitting and kicking the officer. Furthermore he began pounding the officer’s head with a vuvuzela.”

Bystander accounts claim it took three people to take the vuvuzela-wielding wildman down, while the police officer has been officially declared unfit for duty due to ‘severe [head] injuries’ and, we suspect, the shame of being tamed by a plastic horn.

The Spoiler would like to take this time to extend an apology to visionary World Cup IOC head Danny Jordaan, a man clearly ahead of his time, for doubting his sanity when he predicted this exact event a full month ago. Looks like it’s humble pie for lunch. Again.
